India vs New Zealand 3rd T20I: India lose nail-biting decider by 4 runs; Kiwis clinch series - As it happened

Kane Williamson: What a brilliant advertisement for T20 cricket. It's great to get across the line tonight. It was a fairly short series. The first performance was our best, and there were some learnings in the second one. For it to go to the last couple of balls, I knew India would come back strong, and it was a great series to be a part of.

Rohit Sharma: It was pretty disappointing to not get to the finishing line. 210-odd was always going to be tough, and we were in the game right till the end, but New Zealand bowled pretty well, they held their nerves well and they deserved to win. We started off well in the ODIs, and the boys will be disappointed not getting to the finishing line in the T20s. Lots of positives, and a few mistakes, so there's a lot of material to move ahead. It would have been nice to win the series and go home and play Australia, but unfortunately, we couldn't do that.

Colin Munro is awarded the Man of the Match for his 40-ball 72. Tim Seifert has been awarded the Man of the Series for his consistent effort with the bat.

It's all over! India get only 11 from the final over when they needed 16 from it. As a result, they end up losing the match by 4 runs. The partnership of 28-ball 63 almost pulled off the run chase for the Indians but they fell 4 short of the target, some poor error in judgement from DK in the final over. New Zealand take the series 2-1, but was an impressive run chase from the Indians.

SIX! Dinesh Karthik hammers Tickner over covers for a maximum on the very first ball of the over and the ball sails into the stands.

Wicket! Hardik Pandya (21) mistimes Kuggeleijn and Kane Williamson takes another catch. The bat also slipped out of Pandya's hands but that didn't affect the concentration of the Kiwi skipper.

It was yet another display of fine batting effort from the Kiwis as they posted a total of 200-plus against the Indians for the second time in a week. Munro and Seifert gave the hosts a solid start in the powerplay and the rest of the top-order batsmen capitalised upon the start. The Kiwi batters also had a fair share of luck in their favour. India will have to put up a better show in this run chase if they wish to win it.

6,0,0,1,1,4! 12 runs conceded by Khaleel Ahmed from the final over as New Zealand end their innings at 212/4 in 20 overs. India require 213 to win this game. Munro - 72. Kuldeep - 26/2.
